Old rent is not a dead end. It is a technical transition that requires expert strategy.
Many owners feel trapped in contracts that do not reflect the real market value. But with the right approach, what seems like an obstacle is an asset with latent value: we help you negotiate with the tenant, study subrogation rights and sell at the best possible price.
The three problems of the owner with old rent
Low Profitability
Stagnant contracts under LAU 1964 with rents of 60€, 100€ or 200€/month that barely cover IBI and community expenses. The difference with market rent can be 600€ to 1,200€/month of monthly loss.
Uncertainty about Subrogations
¿Cuántas subrogaciones le quedan al contrato? ¿Tiene derecho el cónyuge o los hijos del inquilino a seguir en el piso? La LAU de 1994 limitó las subrogaciones, pero la casuística es compleja y cada contrato es diferente.
Conflict and Emotional Wear
The relationship with decade-old tenants can be tense. Any attempt to update the rent or reach an agreement becomes a minefield that requires professional and neutral mediation.
LAU 1994 in plain language
Limited Subrogations
They are not infinite. LAU 1994 set strict limits: spouse can subrogate once, and children only in very specific scenarios.
Rent Update
There are legal mechanisms to pass on improvement works to the rent (up to 12% of annual cost), although its application requires formal procedure.
Sale with occupant
It is perfectly legal and common in the institutional market. The new owner assumes the contract. There are investors looking for exactly this type of asset.
A Multidimensional Approach to Maximize Value
Subrogation Analysis
We study the original contract, consumed subrogations and those remaining. We determine with accuracy the time horizon of property release: how many years of old rent remain?
Strategic and Discreet Negotiation
We mediate with the tenant to reach voluntary exit or rent capitalization agreements, always prioritizing discretion. A friendly agreement with "turnkey" can unlock everything.
Specialized Patrimonial Investors
If the best option is to sell with the valid contract, we connect your property directly with our private club of patrimonial investors looking for long-term assets and buying knowing the situation.
